Instead of his ridiculous posturing and legal threats, the PM needs to hold a press conference for his employers (the People of The Bahamas - remember those PGC?) to explain who exactly **did** order the letter signed, and provide a clear plan of action for removing all of those involved from public office, along with a timeline for doing so.

But no... the useless man who calls himself the leader of this country simply stamps his feet and threatens those who call him out or pressure him **to actually do his job**.

The cost to business is immeasurable. Which costs do you want to hear about?

- We have the obvious downtime
- We have loss of equipment due to brownouts and spikes
- We have the costs of additional equipment in surge protectors, battery backups, etc, which all need regular replacement due to damage
- We have the increased costs in rent if our business location has to run and maintain a generator for the tenants
- If they don't, we have the increased costs of our own generator in order just to run our business
- oh, and the downtime, more downtime and more downtime.

BEC has had decades to perfect its one job - generating electricity. But it has failed, dismally. Any other business showing this level of incompetence would have gone out of business years ago (and having spoken to endless overseas techs brought in over the past 10 years, these failures are exactly that - utter incompetence due to lack of maintenance, lack of discipline, lack of caring, and worst of all, lack of any consequence for all the above failures)

**Governments cannot run businesses. Period**

Government run businesses breed corruption and laziness (why work - your job is secure for life) and are never profitable, due to the government in control 'dipping'. Nearly every other country worldwide has realised this, and privatised the vast majority of utility companies.

Privatise this company, and **everything** will change. Leave it as it is, and no amount of bad press, no amount of grumbling on Facebook will make a difference - they just don't care.

Not sure if you're being disingenuous on purpose, or due to a lack of understanding.

ALL businesses are going to make less money.

They have three choices :

- close, putting everyone who works there out of a job, raising unemployment and poverty, at a time the poor will be least equipped to cope with a huge increase in the cost of living
- make no changes, hoping they can survive by not making money (hint - they can't - see first point)
- raise prices dramatically to cover increased costs of doing business (remember, they can only claim a percentage of VAT back, and none of the massive extra costs of compliance)

Don't be so niaive as to blame businesses for the hell about to rain down on the Bahamas. They are merely trying to keep their staff employed.

Blame the government who cannot collect existing taxes ( and choose not to from their friends & family), so is ramming a new one up our unwilling posteriors to cover their own utter failure and corrupt ways.

Time for another judicial review, perhaps?

This government needs to be reminded laws are in place, and they are not above them.

There's no way the PLP will *ever* let the FOIA be enacted on their watch - they would lose everything.

Really? Are you that blind? Are you unable to comprehend what this case was?

Regular Bahamians just took the government to court for running wild and breaking the very laws they themselves created, and all you can do is make racist comments thinking you're being 'clever' or 'amusing'.

How very sad.

Davis sees no reason for concern simply because "this is how it is with the PLP" - their blatant corruption and continual lies really aren't your concern, so please stop putting this dishonest actions in the spotlight.

This from the self appointed party leader who *promised* the people he would step down if he lost.

Well, dude, you lost, and you lied.

How are you any better than the others when your hypocrisy shines so very brightly?

The person I replied to claimed **as fact** that this school does not, to this day, accept anyone that is:

- Not from high society
- Black
- Catholic
- Eastern Orthodox
- Asian
- Jewish

I merely pointed out that the information they wrote is utterly incorrect, by providing actual really real, real world facts about the make up of my child's classroom.

This is not a difference in experience, it is a difference between rumor and fact.

Just because you *want* to believe something is true, does not actually *make* it true.

Walking into a classroom and seeing multiple ethnicities, from multiple socio-economoc backgrounds and multiple religions, however, **does** make it true.

This also is fact.

My child is there in a class with 4 caucasians, 1 latin american, 4 black children, two mixed race and 1 asian. All are from varying backgrounds, none from 'high society'.

It appears that the only racism and prejudice involved is your own.
